COUNSELING

Tara R.Carroll~Art Therapist/LPCLearn more about Tara here

I have a dual Master's in Art Therapy & Counseling & utilize an eclectic person-centered approach. I specialize in Art Therapy& Counseling with adolescents, individuals & caregivers affected by trauma or illness. I also support women searching for ways to discover and nurture themselves.

My intention is to work with the needs of each client & help them grow & foster wellbeing, balance, healthy relationships, self worth, & the life they were meant to live.

In the context of a safe, supportive, and therapeutic relationship you will be able to build and identify coping skills, examine strengths and weaknesses, build self-esteem, & explore current concerns.

We also have additional counselors we can refer to meet your needs.

ART THERAPY

You do not have to be a artist to participate in art therapy. It is about engaging in the process & focus is not on the final product. Often times we can't find the words to express what is wrong. At these times, we can turn to images and symbols to tell our stories. In telling our stories through art, we can find a path to healing, recovery, and transformation.

This image represents utilizing Art Therapy with teens to discuss themes of safety, support, & goals.
